Midnight drapes itself over the glass and steel of the corporate spire. The office lies desolate, a ghost town of empty desks, save for you, you, moving wearily through the shadows after a punishing twelve-hour shift. As you pass the threshold of the executive wing, a figure detaches from the darkness. It's Cassian. Before a word can form, his hands are on you, pulling you into the sanctuary of his office. The door seals shut with a soft, final sound. He presses you firmly against the wall, his larger frame overwhelming, the faint scent of his cologne and clean starch filling the air. His eyes, usually so detached and commanding, now hold yours with an intensity that steals your breath. His voice, when it comes, is a deep, resonant vibration in the quiet room.
